Lucas, of the Pacific Northwest Baseball League, and Presi dent C. A. Whitemore, of the Portland Baseball Club, are already at work on baseball plans for next year. The plan that is proposed is to form an eight-team league, taking in Portland, Seattle, Spo kane and Tacoma, of the present league, and adding Butte and Helena, while one team would represent Walla Walla and Pendleton and another would do the same for Vancouver and "Victoria. If the rail roads grant what are considered fair rates, in all probability this league will be. formed. Another proposed project is the invasion of California territory by lo cating teams at San Jose, Stockton, Ejac ramento and San Francisco. NATIONAL- LEAGUE.

Will you kindly Inform me through The Oregonian if a marriage Is legal which occurs in Oregon six months after a di vorce has been granted In Oregon to one of the parties concerned? Second Is a marriage legal which oc curs in another state a few days before the expiration of six months after a di vorce has been granted in Oregon? SUBSCRIBER. First Yes, six months is the statutory time after which remarriage is legal, un less an appeal from the divorce proceed ings is pending and undecided. Second This is a question that would have to be settled by the courts. The general principle of law is that contracts which are legal in one state are legal In another. There Is another principle of law, however, directly In conflict, to the effect that when persons leave one state to avoid the effect of its laws, their ac tions, even If legal In other states, are, not recognized as legal in the one whose laws are thus indirectly transgressed. If parties," one or both of whom were di vorced in Oregon, remarried In another state before the expiration of the- six months, and then returned to Oregon, it Is certain that the marriage Is not valid in Oregon, as It is contrary to the stat utes. Such a case has not been decided in Oregon, but the opinion of legal talent is to the effect that' the courts would un doubtedly hold to this view of the case. Lahor Union Denounced Carnegie. EASTON, Pa., Aug. 6. The Central Labor Union has adopted 'a resolution denouncing Andrew Carnegie as "a foe to labor," and protesting against the School Board of Easton accepting $30,000 fr.om Mr. Carnegie for a Jlbrary. MONEY AID FOR COLONIES VOTE OF SIX MILLION POUNDS DIS CUSSED BY THE COMMONS. Royalist Refugees From Transvaal and Orange River First to Be Pro vided' for Reinstating Boers. LONDON, Aug. 7. The House of Com mons last night ' discussed a vote of 6,500,000 as a grant In aid of the Trans vaal and Orange River Colonies. Sir William Vernon Harcourt and others se verely criticised the government's meas ures. Mr. Chamberlain, replying, said he, quite agreed that the government's first duty was to the Royalist refugees, and he declared that money would not be spared for that purpose. "It Is also a matter of Imperial policy," continued the Colonial Secretary, "to give the necessary support to those of .our enemies who come Into our hands. One .million of the vote is 'for extra rolling stock. A large sum will be devoted to reinstating the Boers on their farms, and an experiment will be made in the dlrec- ONE WAY OF LOOKING jrfwmfag tion of agricultural settlements. There is no intention of confiscation. We have had offers of land at reasonable prices, and a portion of the vote will be devoted to the purchase of such land, with a view of enabling men who volunteered for the war to settle when the war is over." Mr. Chamberlain dwelt at great length upon the native question, which he de scribed as "most difficult and delicate." He declared that anything in the nature of slavery ought not' to be permitted; that a revision of the "cruel and arbitrary native labor laws" was necessary, and that, although the natives must be taught to work, they should have just and humane treatment. Lord Kitchener's Successor. LONDON, Aug.- 7. The Times, giving prominence today to the announcement that Heutenant-General Neville G. Lyt tleton would accompany Lord Mllner on his return to South Africa Saturday, says this possibly means that General Lyt tleton is to replace Lord Kitchener, who will take a rest. Change of Policy "Welcomed. CAPE TOWN, Aug. 6. The Cape Times welcomes the change o'f policy announced in the House of Commons by Colonial Sec retary Chamberlain in regard to the treat ment of the Boers who shot natives, say ing that close association with the Boer3 and the dally consequences of the career of brigandage had already Impressed the colonists with the necessity of a change of policy. RETURN OF VON WALDERSEE. Programme for the Reception nt Hamburg is Simple. BERLIN, Aug. 6. The steamer Gera, with Field Marshal Count von Waldersee on board, has arrived off Heligoland. Count von Waldersee's reception at Ham burg will be very simple, in consequence of the death of the Dowager Empress Frederick. All the projected festivities have been declared off, with the excep tion of the military reception at the pier and the municipal reception at the City Hall. The municipal banauet will be omitted. Count x'on Bulow has tele- graphed his regrets at not being able to be present, as has also Crown Prince Frederick William. It is asserted by a Berlin paper that the Count will be ele vated to hereditary-princely rank, and sev eral other journals regard this as prob able. Countess von Waldersee will go on board the Gera tomorrow morning at Brunschausen. General von Gossler, the War Minister, and a number of other high military officials will also welcome Count von Waldersee. British Naval Maneuvers. NEW YORK, Aug. 6. Commenting upon the naval maneuvers Nin which the at tacking squadron supposed to represent the enemy has just been declared vic tor, the Tribune's London correspondent says: There has been more realism in these maneuvers than the Admiralty authorities had expected. Not only have two torpedo boat destroyers been lost, but it is report ed that several others have been crippled. The wreck of the Viper was, of course, the most serious accident of the maneuvers. This vessel was an experiment, and her performances were being witnessed with a critical eye by the Admiralty experts. The destroyer Violent Is said to be in a bad way". Nearly all her water-tube boil ers have been disabled through split tubes, and it was only by great presence of mind and prompt action that the stok ers were saved from being scalded to death. There are rumors of Incidents of a similar nature on other vessls, about which there will probably be a full In quiry. Russian Retaliation. BERLIN, Aug. 6. Prussian officials take seriously the statement from St Peters burg that Russia will forbid Russian farm laborers to cross the frontier for Summer work in Prussia. It is considered, the Berliner Correspondenz asserts, that the Russian Government Is -taking this step as retaliation for the German tariff bill. American Coal In Europe. BERLIN, Aug. 6. The bureau for the preparation of commercial treatler (a private organization of manufacturers and Chambers of Commerce favoring the pres ent commercial treaty policy) has ad dressed a circular, to the German cress concerning the establishment by. Ameri- f sxj-jts&s&&ixz tesa. ' -4j&wH'a7X can coal exporters of coal docks in the north of France for the distribution of coal In France and Switzerland. The cir cular points out that the French railways have granted a reduction in freight charges, and suggests the likelihood, as the result of this arrangement, that Amer ican coal will displace German coal in Swiss Industries. Financial Crisis Spreading. BERLIN, Aug. 6. Today's dispatches from various parts of Germany show that the financial and industrial crisis is spreading. The-Rhenlsche Immobllen Ak tlenbank, of Cologne, has been declared Insolvent, and the calico mill of Ehren berg & Rlchter, In Ellenberg, has sus pended. Nothing has yet been published regarding their respective liabilities. Xr. VIerllen, chairman of the overseers of the W, H. Popp spinning machinery fac tory in Werdau, has been arrested. Two of the directors are wanted under sus picion of having forged checks. Servian Voters Intimidated. LONDON, Aug. 6. Describing the dis orders attending the Servian elections, the Vienna correspondent of the Morn ing Leader says: The Servian Government used troops and gendarmes freely to intimidate the electors of the opposition. At Gradlshee the voters were driven lii' by gendarmes AT THE SCHLEY CASE. St. Paul Pioneer Press. and compelled to vote for the government candidates. At Sagublca voters were brought In irons to the polls. This intimi dation caused riots In various places, and 300 persons, all told, were injured. THE DEATH ROLL. Judge William C. Price.

New York Times. George Horton, author of "Like An other Helen," Is very fond of roast goose, and on one occasion he procured an extra fine one for his Sunday dinner. Shortly before the dinner hour he was horrified at the strong odor of burning meat. He went to the kitchen and found the cook weeping over the ashy remains of the fowl. Gaining sufficient control of her self, Bridget explained that she had be come so interested in a story that she had entirely forgotten the meat. To prove the authenticity of the tale she pulled a paper from under her apron. It was a copy of the Chicago Times-Herald, of which Mr. Horton was then literary editor, and the engrossing story was "Like Another Helen," which he was publishing In serial form. The cook had in reality not noticed the name of the author, but in justice to the force and delicacy of the compliment paid him as a narrator, she escaped with a gentle warning to hold her literary tastes In sub jection until after meal hours. Bennett's' Owls. Buffalo Commercial. The owl, "big-eyed and solemn." is Mr. James Gordon Bennett's favorite bird. The singular ornament of an owl at bow and stern of his magnificent new steam yacht Lyslstrata, will not strike those who know his preference as so strange, after all. On his famous old yacht, Na mouna, one saw owls everywhere stuffed, plaster, marble, silver, bronze, wooden owls, of all sizes, and in every position. Owls peered into the salt cellars on the dinner table, formed pepper boxes, seals, handles to walking canes, fire-Irons, pa per knives, perched on the backs of chairs, and so forth. It Is the same at his delightful entresol at Paris. Ordered to Remove Their Queues. NEW YORK, Aug. 6. An order issued by the. head of the Chinese Reform Asso ciation calls upon all Chinamen In this country to remove their queues.

All the Ministers at Pekln Except - Satow Are Anxious to Finish Up the Business. PEKIN, Aug. 8. The foreign Ministers had arranged to sign the settlement pro tocol today, but the British Minister, Sir Ernest Satow, yesterday evening notified his colleagues that Great Britain was un able to sign.

Mr. Rockhlll and Mr. Mumm von Schwarzensteln Save telegraphed Chang Chlh Tung and Liu Kun Yi, the Hankow and Nankin Viceroys, requesting them to use their Influence with the government not to raise objections to the protocol. All the Ministers of the powers except Sir Ernest Satow are anxious to finish up the business. The British delay is not ex plained, and causes some uneasiness, 'deneral Voyron, the French commander, and his staff, have departed, and the French troops are leaving. LONDON, Aug. 6. Lord Lansdowne, the Foreign Secretary, replying in the House of Lords today to a question of Earl Spencer Liberal, said the Chinese nego tiations 'had recently made rapid and sat isfactory progress. The indemnity ques tion was disposed of, with the exception of a few minor points. Great Britain was still in favor of the open door through out China. The Foreign Secretary also said that the final strength of the Lega tion guards at Pekln will probably be 1800 men, and that an additional force of 3000 men will be distributed at Important points along the route to the sea. The Secretary regarded the Anglo-German and Anglo-Russian agreements as satisfactory and as tending to the maintenance of China's territorial integrity. TUNG FUH'S REBELLION. Chinese Conrt Alarmed hy the Reb els Approach. VICTORIA, B. a. Aug. 6. The steamer Queen Adelaide brings news that the Tien Chuan Lul rising is growing. A re port has reached the French force In Pekln from Cheng Ting Fu to the effect that a large number of defeated soldiers of Tung Fuh Slang, combined with Llan Chwang Hul, have unfurled in the gov ernment premises of Shen Chow many banners with the motto, "Sweep China and destroy aliens." ' "On the receipt of a report that Tung Fuh Slang has started a rebellion and is marching upon Slngan." says a Shanghai paper, "the Chinese court has enlisted braves In order to prevent him, the num ber of the present Imperial bodyguard being Inadequate to meet this force. The braves of the two Provinces of Shen SI and Ho Nan have now gathered, and their number has reached some 15 or 16 battal ions, but they are devoid of good weapons. The Governors and other officials of the two provinces are therefore ordered by the court to procure arms for them at once." From an unimpeachable source the Nag asaki Press learns that General Gribski, the Military Governor of Blagovestchensk, committed suicide July 14. as he was ap proaching the above city on his return from Stl Petersburg. He was returning In disgrace after endeavoring to explain away the massacre of thousands of Chi nese by his Cossacks a year ago by the fact that the telegram, "Fling Chinese across-Amur," sent from St. Petersburg, was received In his absence and inter preted, "Fling Chinese In Amur." From Hokhardo, Japan, news was re ceived of the murder of Otto Schroeder, 22 years of age, of New York, on the whal ing bark California, by a shipmate, Will iam Stuart, 2i years of age, of Los An geles. Stuart was held on board, accord ing to the Hokhardo correspondent, for the United States Consul at Yokohama, and the Japanese consul declined to In terfere. George Faulkner, aged 40, was killed in an accident by a sperm whale staving in the boat. Grand Lama Acha, of Thibet, and suite are visiting Japan, and large Buddhist celebrations are being held. Great loss of life has occurred in Japan because of floods. In the Iwasaki col liery 69 were drowned, and loss of life is also reported from many places, as well as destruction of property. Turkish Mission a Farce. VICTORIA, B. C Aug. 6. Enver Pasha and staff, the Turkish mission which at the Instance of Kaiser Wllhelm was sent to China by .the Sultan of Turkey, has left Shanghai, according to new? brought by the steamship Queen Adelaide, bound home over the Trans-Siberian Railway. The mission was a farce. Enver Pasha and his fellow-commissioners thought they were going to an unexplored coun try, and on reaching Shanghai and discov ering that old Mohammedans were at Kang Su, away In the interior, and that they did not know of, much less recog nize, the Sultan of Turkey, the commis sioners decided to return to Turkey. CATHEDRAL IS SETTLING. Vibrations of Underground Trains Crack St. Paul's Walls. LONDON, Aug. 7. Somers Clarke, the architect In charge of St. Paul's Cathe dral, writes to the Times today as follows: "The Immense weight resting upon the eight piers upholding the dome has caused the foundations under the doroe to settle more than elsewhere. The settlement thus caused has broken the eight arches and the windows of the clolstery over them in the nave, lii the choir" and north and south transepts, where they abut on the dome pieces, in the same way. The very great weight on the western towers has caused them to sink, and in sinking they have cracked the west front verti cally through the great door, the window above and the vaulted celling of the por tico. They have also cracked the wall of the chapeL to the east." Mr. Clarke, mentioning the unequal dis tribution of weight as a cause of settle ment, expresses the opinion that the two underground' railways and the large sew ers have affected the foundations. He lays particular stress upon the vibrations resulting from the passing trains. Thirty Turks Killed. LONDON, Aug. 7. A dispatch to the' Morning Leader from Sofia reports an alleged "battle" between, Bulgarian ban dits and Turkish troops near Adrlanople, in which SO Turks were killed. VIENNA, Aug. 7.

MAKE-UP OF AN ATOM. Question Vital Since the Days of Early Greece. From early days of Greek philosophy, said Professor Hallock in his lecture yes terday before the Columbia Summer ses sion, a fruitful subject of discussion was the question as to whether matter Is con tinuous, or Is made up of smallest parti cles, which are separated by unoccupied space,, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. Under these circumstances arose the Idea of the "atom," I. e., the smallest particle of matter that can ex ist, or be conceived of as existing. The atomic idea died and came to life sev eral times, until the revival in chemistry and the theories of Dalton placed it in a position to anticipate immortality. To the chemist the atom is still the ultimate particle of matter beyond which we can not penetrate. Except for the probabil ity of the complexity of the atom raised by the series of Mendelejeff giving the orderly arrangement of the elements ac cording to the masses of their atoms. chemistry has really been unable to do anything to penetrate the sanctum of the atom, and Interfere with its more than Chinese excluslveness. When Bunsen and Klrchoff in their classic investigations on the spectra of the elements showed that each element was capable, when properly excited, of emitting a number of different kinds of light (colors), and that these different kinds of light were always the same for the same element and entirely character istic of It, then, and not till then, did we begin to obtain reliable evidence that the atom is complex. For a long time we had no means of In terfering In the least with the constancy of vibration rates Inherent In the atom. Then It was found that simply putting the electric arc In an atmosphere of air, compressed to nine or 10 times the or dinary pressure, would cause these spec trum lines to widen and vary; here was a means of affecting the internal rate of vibration of the atom. Zccman next found that If the source of light Is placed in a strong mag-netic field the vibrations of the atom are seriously affected. In this case a single line might be broken up Into two, or three, or four, or six, and these component lines, when examined with the instruments for the study of polarized light, prove to be vibrating In different ways, each way, however, read ily recognized as well known. Inasmuch as its motion is affected by a magnetic field the little parts of the atom must carry electricity. We know how fast the atom vibrates (several hundred million million times per second) to give a certain light. Here then are data on the inner mechanism of the atom. In the X-ray tube the pale blue light, which seems to stream across the tube and Impinging on the other end produce the X-rays Is In reality a "wind" or small particles, each carrying a charge ot negative electricity; It Is the "radiant matter" of Professor Crookes. Thla "wind" Is deflected by a body charged with electricity, or a magnet; here again is evidence as to the relation between the size of the atom and the charge of elec tricity which it is carrying.- If wo send a current of electricity through a solution of salt, for example, a double procession Is Immediately started, the sodium atom with Its positive charge going one way and the chlorine atom go ing the other way wich a negative charge. Each of these little travelers was called an "Ion" by Farraday, and is still so called. In order to conduct electricity a. molecule in solution must be able to break up into ions. Becquerell found that uranium and rts salts emit a peculiar rad'Iatlon continu ously. These radiations are practically proven to be infinitesimal particles, shot off from the salt. They are so small that a square Inch would only radiate one grain of certain salts in ten thousand mil lion years. Nevertheless they are shot off wltrn velocities that would carry them to the sun In 15 or 20 minutes, and which en able them to knock the molecules of the air into their ions and render it a con ductor of electricity as long as the Ions lasL J. J. Thompson finds that In a num ber of cases he is able to knock off about a thousandth of an atom, and with a cer tain quantity of negative electricity, leav ing the rest of the atom positively charged. The infinitely large is easy to compre hend, tho universe has plenty of room, and we can easily imagine plenty of room beyond for several more universes. But consider the infinitely small. Maxwell placed the number of hydrogen atoms in a cubic inch, under normal conditions, nt about three hundred million million mil lion; Crookes put it at fifteen thousand million million million, and Lord Kelvin feels fairly confident that there are not more than ninety thousand million million million. The smallest particle of matter visible under our best microscopes may well contain 500,000,000 atoms. One can thus appreciate the truth of the statement of the late Professor Rowland" that " a grand piano Is simplicity itself when compared to an Iron atom." An Invitation From a Dnohcs.s. New York Times. Every now and then there arises the question of etiquette as to how certain titled people should be addressed and as to the manner In which they sign their letters and telegrams. American women who have married titles abroad "catch on" to these little details very quickly. As there are now two living American ducheses, one American dowager duchess, and one "ex-duchess" in England, it may be Interesting to know their formula. Here is the copy of a telegram received by a young American women In London last week, coming from the Duchess of Manchester (nee Zimmerman) who is said to have fallen right In the ways and manners of English women of high rank, without losing any of her American charm or individuality.
